Since I mainly play games for the multiplayer experience could anyone tell me whether there is any viable automatching or quick matching for steel division?
PTRS are just decent now. I think this patch has improved balance quite a lot.
Before patch nobody would use guard commanders anymore and now soviets actually have 1 long range unit that can actually do some decent dps. Besides that they still die relatively easy and have the nasty ability to clump up really close making them very vulnerable to all types of indirect fire and grenades.
Concerning the conscripts with PTRS I can imagine them being a little OP but it is just one niche commander. I didn't face enough yet to really see the consequences.
I also really like the small leIG and pack howitzer buffs providing some suppression.
It just needs more micro. If you fire from "relatively" close range thus with lower scatter the barrage really hurts. Just don't forget to drive out again.
